Mainland Mexican Riviera Shore Excursions
Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, Zihuatanejo, Acapulco and Huatulco.
Choose your port »Mainland Mexican Riviera Ports
The mainland ports run from Mazatlán south to Huatulco, and several of them put a beach, a market and a historic center within walking distance or a short taxi ride of the ship. That makes this coast unusually friendly to passengers who would rather spend on one good outing than on transport.

Which mainland ports can I do on foot?
In Mazatlán, Acapulco, Manzanillo and Huatulco, ships berth close to town, and in Zihuatanejo the tender lands at the town pier. Puerto Vallarta’s terminal is in the marina district, a short taxi or bus ride from the Malecón and the old town.
How can I save on a beach day?
Public beaches in Mexico are free to use. A beach club charges for loungers, shade and food, and an organized beach break bundles transport with those comforts. If you only want a swim, a taxi to a public beach is usually the cheapest choice.
